(Chapter 55 has been approved. It was about 800 characters late.)
Boom!
A powerful explosion rang out, instantly leveling the house to the ground. Not only that, the surrounding area was also affected. For a moment, screams arose.
The rule among ability users was not to involve ordinary people. Only the four great families would dare ignore this rule.
“Heh heh, you made me look so hard for you.”
A man in splendid robes slowly revealed himself. When the Zhao family saw Chou Yier, they burst into laughter.
“Who are you?!”
Chou Yier immediately shielded Sun Guangche, her eyes fixed on the man before her. She sensed that powerful, fear-inducing aura.
The Zhao man made no attempt to hide his identity. “I am the fourth master of the Zhao family, Zhao Sijie.”
“It’s you! You’re the ones who killed the fairy sister’s family!”
As soon as Sun Guangche heard it was someone from the Zhao family, rage flared up.
Zhao Sijie ignored Sun Guangche and instead took out a small tripod. The tripod’s surface was covered with patterns—on closer inspection, they depicted a hundred ghosts parading at night, sending chills down one’s spine.
Not good!
When Chou Yier saw the small tripod, that fear descended once again. It was this small tripod that had killed Grandma.
“Run! I’ll hold him off here!”
Chou Yier didn’t want Sun Guangche to be involved.
“No! Fairy Sister! I won’t go!”
Sun Guangche’s attitude was resolute. His eyes glared fiercely at the Zhao man, bloodshot.
As his words fell, a ghostly spirit emerged from the small tripod, emitting waves of cold air.
“How touching.” Seeing this, Zhao Sijie sneered. “In that case, let me make you a pair of star-crossed lovers and die together.”
Roar!
The ghostly spirit howled, charging straight at Chou Yier, its claws gleaming coldly.
Chou Yier’s eyes blazed with green light as she met it head-on, clashing with the ghostly spirit.
For a moment, the monster and the ghost fought together.
Taking this opportunity, Sun Guangche suppressed his aura, sneaked up behind Zhao Sijie, and pulled out a fruit knife in his hand. His ability was enhancement—even an ordinary knife could unleash astonishing power.
“Die!”
Yet—
“Too slow, kid.”
The sound of bones cracking rang out.
An old man with white hair appeared, grabbing Sun Guangche’s wrist like he was picking up a chick. With a gentle squeeze, he snapped it, then casually flung him aside.
Hearing the scream, Chou Yier, who was fighting, turned her head. When she saw Sun Guangche with his broken arm, her eyes blazed with murderous intent.
“You all deserve to die!”
Boom!
Chou Yier directly burned her own demonic aura, forcing the ghost back with one blow.
“Fourth Master, you’re making too much noise. The four factions will probably be here soon. Let me handle this monster.”
Such a huge explosion in the city—needless to say, the four factions would arrive sooner or later.
“Fine. Remember, don’t kill it. If the demon core loses its vitality, I’ll have to do it myself.” Zhao Sijie smirked. He loved hearing the screams of the weak.
“No problem, Fourth Master. Leave it to me.”
The white-haired old man sneered, and an aura swirled around him. Even the ground began to crack.
Thump!
His figure shot out like an arrow, charging at Chou Yier in an instant. His speed was so fast that the wind he kicked up slapped against her face. Sensing his aura, she hastily defended.
He struck with an unadorned palm, yet it carried a chilling murderous intent.
Pfft—
It instantly pierced through Chou Yier’s shoulder.
A dull thud, and Chou Yier’s aura immediately withered.
“Fairy Sister!”
When Sun Guangche saw Chou Yier’s shoulder pierced through, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His mind was in chaos; he didn’t know what to do.
Just then, he suddenly remembered what Qin Luo had said to him today.
He didn’t know why, but he hurriedly used his left hand to pull out his phone and called Qin Luo.
“Finish it quickly. Save time.” The old man looked at Chou Yier like she was a weed on the roadside.
“Sis, can we go any faster?”
Qin Luo’s voice was anxious. Right now, he was being held in his sister’s arms in a princess carry, zooming through the air.
As for the four great families or the Zhao family—others might care about that, but he couldn’t bother anymore. After receiving Sun Guangche’s call, he didn’t have time to think. He just asked his sister to take him to find Sun Guangche. Saving people—no, saving the demon—was the top priority!
Qin Jingyu was already moving very fast. Based on the location her brother gave, she was essentially crossing the entire city.
“Two more minutes.”
Under normal circumstances, she might not have intervened in such matters.
But who asked for this from her dear little brother? As his older sister, of course she had to spoil him.
She said Little Aunt spoiled him too much, but in truth, she herself had spoiled him no less.
***
Chou Yier spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
Even burning her own life force, she was no match for this man.
“Useless.” The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes indifferent.
Chou Yier’s heart turned to ashes. Was she going to die here after all…
But even if she died, she wouldn’t let him get his way!
“Don’t you want my demon core…”
Chou Yier smiled. Though her whole body was bleeding, the next moment, she was about to shatter her own demon core.
Crack—
The sound of the core beginning to crack rang out.
“If you dare shatter it, I’ll kill him.”
Zhao Sijie’s voice rang out. He had lifted Sun Guangche, using him as a threat.
“!!!”
Seeing Sun Guangche in Zhao Sijie’s hands, Chou Yier’s movements froze.
“Let him go! He has nothing to do with me!” she shouted harshly.
“Fairy Sister… don’t worry about me…”
Sun Guangche forced the words out through gritted teeth.
“Of course I can let him go.” Zhao Sijie sneered coldly. “I want you to personally extract your demon core and hand it to me. Then I’ll let him go.”
Hearing this, Sun Guangche’s eyes went wide. “No… Fairy Sister, no!”
Blood tears streamed from his eyes as he screamed hoarsely.
Chou Yier looked at Sun Guangche, recalling that night ten years ago. That little boy, timidly staring at her.
She took a deep breath, her eyes firm. “Fine. I agree.”
“No…”
Chou Yier smiled gently and said to Sun Guangche, “Silly boy, I am your mountain god after all, so naturally I must protect you.”
Sun Guangche’s heart was filled with hatred—hatred for being so weak, unable to do anything, and instead causing harm to his fairy sister.
“Stop dawdling. Hurry up!” Zhao Sijie urged.
Chou Yier made up her mind and was about to extract her demon core when—
“Spare the core! I, Qin Luo, have arrived!”
